Microsoft has released a new version of mshtml.dll

Just tried the latest MSHTML.DLL with W98SE. It works fine on an IBM
laptop, but on the desktop, when IE is invoked it launches to the home
page (Yahoo World News) then immediately closes leaving a Download
prompt asking if I want to DL the page !!

There's a glitch somewhere. To those replacing files, be sure your
current file is backed up and accessible!

That topic was covered a month ago (yes, Microsoft has packaged these
files specifically for Windows 2000 because Windows 2000 can only run
IE6 sp1, which happens to be the same as win-9.

You can't run the installation files for these updates on win-98. You
need to unpack them manually and place them (over-write them) in place
of your existing files.

Did you not read the following:

???

Did you install the MS09-054 files first?
